In addition to some prepackaged goods, you can find UMN-made ice cream, syrup/honey, meats (eg. juicy Lucy patties!) and locally made fudge, strudel and pies. When the weather is warm at least, there is also a truck selling North Star apple cider donuts.

They were rotating out their fall products on the day we visited so it was in our favor because we love fall and bought items at 50% off! The staff was nice. The Northstar Apple Cider donuts food truck was yet open when we were there. They gave a few apple varieties that you can't find in the grocery stores like frostbite, triumph, snow sweet, Sonya, and fireside so we got one of each of these varieties. We got some jelly and bread mixes. Good foliage view

Would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the owners grandkid who was literally allowed to run rampant. Everyone was staring as he smashed carts, slammed stuff into the ground, and ran around yelling. The teenage staff laughed and said there was nothing they could do but they agreed it was a problem. I finally asked to speak with the owner (grandma) who didn't seem to take it seriously at all. Customers were shocked and gossiping about it. I've never seen this happen before so I'll go back but if it happens again I won't return.

The shop is interesting and serves up a lot of variety of apple products. While you browse, get a glass of wine and walk around. Definitely get out to the grounds surrounding the barn. The winery next door always have fun events going like a live band outdoor and a food truck. There is a petting zoo outside, a few interesting sculptures worth checking out and a caricaturist. We strolled through the apple orchard down the street from the barn. If you are too lazy to walk, they operate tractors also. You can either buy your apples at the store or choose the pick your own apple bag option. There were Haralsons, Fireside and Honeycrisp apples when I was there. It's so much fun to see those red apples hanging in the trees while enjoying the cool breeze and crisp air. The rolling hills in this area is breath taking. It's really a beautiful part of MN that's worth checking out.

Not only is it an orchard but also a vineyard. I'm not as familiar with Minnesotan wines so I was a little skeptical but honestly I was very impressed by the crisp and woody taste of one of their reds. Not only that but they had a live band playing fun music. They allowed doggos so it was fun to walk around and see the beautiful fall colors with the pooch. Plus it was very family friendly so there were also some cute kids enjoying hay rides! They had what appeared to be a vendor selling unique pizzas but also the best soft pretzels I've ever had in my life with REAL gouda cheese for dipping. Great spot to check out in the fall, great for group gatherings/parties, would come back next year (although may call about pumpkins beforehand).

The frozen section was ok and it seems that one is the freezer was having issues when I was there and alerted the staff. I came for some bitter melons but most of their bitter melons are bruised and are not in good condition. In a pinch, it's a good option when in downtown St. Paul area.

They give you a basket and have a system to assign you to your own row for picking. Once done, you wait in line to weigh and pay. Lots of berries on the bushes and it's okay to sample as you go! The strawberries were so sweet and delicious - far more flavorful than you buy at the supermarket. This year they charged $3/lb and I saw a lot of full baskets. It is cash or check only so make sure to come prepared. Plenty of parking available. Call ahead to confirm picking hours, as they do sell out. I also recommend following their Facebook page for the latest picking updates. We didn't buy any this time but I did notice that they sell jams and asparagus at their farm stand as well.

It seemed like we were maybe a little late in the season or some real pros must have been through our rows a week or two before us because we weren't finding the huge berries.

But for 45 mins of picking on a perfect day and 17lbs of strawberries you can't beat the price of $20.

We had ordered a tasting kit which had a large variety of food and drinks to try! We had the Cider Tasting Kit with additional add ons, such as the, Apple Tasting Kit, Heirloom Apple Tasting Kit, Odenthal's Jalapeno and Cheddar Beef Sticks, Shepherd's Way Friesago Cheese, Sweetland Orchard Cider Donuts, Sweatband Orchard Farm Bread Picnic Loaf, and the Vikings and Goddesses Apple Carmel Hand Pie's. Kits are available if you place your order at lease 12 hours in advance. If you do not order a kit, there are items available for purchase as well. You are free to roam to roam the orchard and enjoy all there is to offer. The setting was just the perfect spot for fall, with colored trees around and rolling hills. We brought our kit our to the orchard and had a picnic. We brought a quilt to sit on (there are some picnic tables available, but it is probably wise to bring a quilt to lay down to sit on just in case there are no tables available). Everything was incredibly delicious and I am planning to get back there again soon! It is dog friendly! I love when places allow dogs, it is but probably best to bring your dog only if it will not disrupt other guests or the animals that are on site (chickens, pigs, etc.).
